Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) Landfills
• DOE operates several landfills for safe and compliant disposal of ORR remediation, demolition, and sanitary waste
• Operating landfills are permitted by Tennessee Solid Waste Division (SWD) or fall under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
• Each landfill has established criteria to determine whether waste is acceptable for disposal
Current and planned landfill capacity sufficient to meet needs

Landfill IV (Classified Sanitary/Industrial)
• 4.2-acre landfill, opened in 1989
• Receives classified sanitary industrial waste from ORR sites
• Permitted total capacity of 89,000 cubic yards
• Currently about 50% full
• Constructed airspace approximately 71,000 cubic yards
Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills
www.energy.gov/EM 8
Landfill V (Sanitary/Industrial)
• 25.9-acre landfill, opened in 1994
• Lined disposal areas receive office trash, cafeteria waste, and other sanitary waste from the ORR sites
• Approximate total capacity of 2.1 million cubic yards
• Currently about 40% full
• Constructed airspace approximately 1.3 million cubic yards
Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills
www.energy.gov/EM 9
• 30.4-acre site, opened in 2001
• Unlined disposal areas receive building construction and demolition debris
• Approximate total capacity of 2.08 million cubic yards
• Currently about XX% full
• Constructed airspace approximately 1.1 million cubic yards
Landfill VII (Construction/Demolition Debris))
Sufficient capacity available for construction/demolition debris landfill
www.energy.gov/EM 10
EMWMF (Low-level CERCLA Cleanup Waste)
• 28-acre landfill, opened in 2002
• Lined disposal cells receive low-level radiological and chemical waste from CERCLA cleanup of ORR and associated sites
• Approximate total capacity of 2.18 million cubic yards
• Planned final cap redesign will increase capacity to approximately 2.3 million cubic yards
• Currently about 75% full
Remaining capacity supports completion of ETTP cleanup
www.energy.gov/EM 11
Environmental Management Disposal Facility
• Currently in the CERCLA investigation/planning phase
• On-site alternatives –new Bear Creek Valley CERCLA disposal facility – Various sites under consideration
• Potential disposal site capacities range from 2.2M to 2.8M yd3
Future capacity needed for Y-12 and ORNL CERCLA cleanup
www.energy.gov/EM 12
Current and planned waste disposal capacity supports cleanup of the ORR
• ORR has sufficient permitted capacity for sanitary/industrial landfills
• EMWMF has sufficient capacity for the completion of ETTP Cleanup
• Additional capacity (EMDF) is necessary to support the future cleanup of Y-12 and ORNL
